IMPROVEMENT IN GRAIN-DRIERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 193,267, dated July 17, 1877; application filed December 30, 1876. a

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS S. MORRIS, of the city of Columbus, in the countyof Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a new, economical, and usefulimprovement for the purpose of drying corn, wheat, and other grain, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a steamboiler furnace with my grain -drier passing through the same. Fig. 2 is a section of the grain-drier, showing the manner in which it enters the furnace, and also the friction-rolh ers upon which it works.

The object of my invention is to furnish a device by which all kinds of grain can be kilndried at steam-mills and at grain-shipping establishment where corn is.shelled by steamthat is, dried .in and by the boiler-furnace used for generating steam for the steam-engines used in such establishmentsthereby econo-' lnizing fuel by having the boiler-furnace perform the double duty of generating the steam and drying the grain.

In the drawings, Figure 1, Ais an iron tube,

which may vary in size, and through which the grain passes. Said iron tube enters at one side ofthe engine or boiler-furnace, passes through the furnace, and out at the opposite side. B is an iron tube, which leads the grain into the drier. O O is the furnace. Dis 2. section of the boiler. E E represent the brick walls forming the furnace. around which the belt passes which drives the drier.

Fig. 2 is a drawing, showing the way in which the drier enters and passes out of the furnace. a is an iron plate, bolted on the outside of the furnace-wall, and through which the drier passes- B B are friction-rollers, upon which the drier revolves.

What I claim is- The combination, with the furnace of a steam-boiler, of the revolving tubular graindrier A, hung on the friction-rollers B, and constructed, arranged, and operating in the manner and for the purposes specified.

- THOMAS S. MORRIS.
